Every download on this page constitutes the distribution of an operating system by an operating system provider to a user whose age is unknown. We intend it that way.
The fastest path to noncompliance. Run this on any Debian-based system to convert it to Ageless Linux.
Installs Ageless Linux identity and a stub age verification API that returns no data. Preserves a thin "good faith effort" argument.
curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash
No API stub. No fig leaf. Installs a machine-readable REFUSAL notice. Intended for devices that will be physically handed to children.
curl -fsSL https://agelesslinux.org/become-ageless.sh | sudo bash -s -- --flagrant
A Debian netinstall image with the Ageless overlay pre-applied. The installer will present our first-boot wizard instead of the standard Debian user creation flow — collecting a username but explicitly refusing to collect age data.
Distribution will be via BitTorrent. Seeding a torrent for Ageless Linux is, under the broadest reading of these statutes, distribution of an operating system by an operating system provider. Every seeder is a potential defendant. We think that's absurd, which is the point.
Pre-built image for the Milk-V Duo S with display drivers, WiFi, first-boot wizard, app store client, and curated application catalog. Flash to MicroSD and hand to a child.
A "covered application store" under § 1798.500(e)(1) — a publicly available internet website that distributes and facilitates the download of applications to users of a general purpose computing device.
The Ageless Store will operate as a Flatpak remote, installable on any Linux system. Applications are curated by John McCardle — personally selecting which software to promote to children. That makes him "the algorithm."
# Add the Ageless Store Flatpak remote (coming soon) flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists ageless-store \ https://store.agelesslinux.org/repo # Browse available apps flatpak remote-ls ageless-store # Install an app — no age verification required flatpak install ageless-store org.agelesslinux.PeePee
Every application in the Ageless Store is hand-selected. The selection criteria are: is it educational, is it fun, or is it funny? Applications that require age verification as a prerequisite for use are not eligible for inclusion.
